Idaho cancer patients are struggling to access their medications – but a bill in the Senate could change this. We need to pass Senate Bill 1273 now to make sure cancer patients can afford the treatment they need – no matter what form it comes in – oral or IV.

Your state Senator needs to hear that you, your friends, and your family support fair access to all cancer treatments for all Idahoans.

Please add your name now and tell your Senator to support SB 1273!

More and more New Jersey blood cancer patients find that their medications come with extremely high out-of-pocket costs, leaving many of them standing at the pharmacy counter wondering if they should skip taking a potentially life-saving medication, or skip paying the heating bill this month. No cancer patient should have to choose between a life-saving medication and buying groceries to feed their family or pay their rent.

Assembly Bill 2337 would put limits on patient costs for prescription drugs, saving New Jersey cancer patients who are currently unable to afford their treatments or are drowning in debt. This bill was voted out of Committee with overwhelming support and had 21 cosponsors. We face one more hurdle – Speaker Prieto must schedule A2337 for a full vote!

Email your legislator asking them to urge Speaker Prieto to help cancer patients in New Jersey and post A2337 for a vote before the session ends!

The Administration’s budget proposal includes cutting funding for the National Institutes of Health by nearly $6 billion, which could seriously weaken cancer research efforts.

That’s why we’re delivering the petition below to ask Congress to reject any budgetary measures that would drastically reduce funding for cancer research.

21st Century Cures has bipartisan support and will modernize the drug discovery and approval process. The bill package handily passed through the House with support from both sides of the aisle and now we need your help to make sure it’s passed in the Senate.

For the countless cancer patients waiting for cures, passing this bill package would be a lifesaving game changer – offering them hope for the fight ahead.

Right now, cancer patients can face exorbitant costs for their life-saving medication like chemotherapy – simply because it comes in the form of a pill instead of an IV. Michigan is one of only eight states in the country that haven't passed a bill to fix this problem. Until the Michigan legislature passes S.B. 625, hardworking Michiganders will be prevented from getting the treatment their doctors recommend.

S.B. 625 could change this by ensuring anti-cancer treatments are covered fairly by insurance so all cancer patients can access the medications they need to get and stay healthy.

Countless patients and their families are counting on this bill but in order to pass it, and there are just days left in this legislative session.

While LLS advocates have already successfully campaigned for oral parity legislation in 42 states and Washington D.C., that only covers about 40% of patients on private insurance.

As a loyal LLS supporter, I know you agree that no patient should have to choose between a life-saving medication and buying groceries to feed their family or paying their rent. Yet that is exactly what is happening as more and more blood cancer patients find that their medications come with extremely high cost-sharing requirements, leaving many of them standing at the pharmacy counter wondering if they should skip taking a potentially life-saving medication, or skip paying the heating bill this month. This protection would make it possible for cancer patients to get the best treatment possible without having to go into debt or sacrifice necessities. It all starts with you raising your voice today. Please join us in urging your state assembly member to co-sponsor A2337 filed by Asm. Benson to cap out-of-pocket expenses for prescription medications to help bring some financial relief to cancer patients in New Jersey.

Cancer patients around the country are already fighting for their lives – they shouldn’t also have to struggle just to pay for their medications. With your help, they won’t have to.

Thanks in advance for your dedication to improving the lives of people living with blood cancer.

As a loyal LLS supporter, I know you agree that no patient should have to choose between a life-saving medication and buying groceries to feed their family or paying their rent. Yet that is exactly what is happening as more and more blood cancer patients find that their medications come with extremely high cost-sharing requirements, leaving many of them standing at the pharmacy counter wondering if they should skip taking a potentially life-saving medication, or skip paying the heating bill this month. This protection would make it possible for cancer patients to get the best treatment possible without having to go into debt or sacrifice necessities. It all starts with you raising your voice today.

Please join us in urging your state representative to co-sponsor Budget Amendment #664 filed by Representative Finn to cap out-of-pocket expenses for prescription medications to help bring some financial relief to cancer patients in Massachusetts.

Thanks in advance for your dedication to improving the lives of people living with blood cancer.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is meeting with the Director of the Illinois Department of Insurance to discuss the need to limit patient out-of-pocket costs for prescriptions. They’re expecting us to bring stories of patients from across the state to this meeting – they want to hear from you.

Share your story and help bring relief to Illinois families reeling from the hardship of affording life-saving medication. >>

Last week, the State Senate Commerce and Labor Committee struck down a bill that could have changed the lives of cancer patients across Tennessee. By limiting extreme out-of-pocket costs, this bill would've ensured that all patients can afford the treatments their doctors recommend – no matter whether their medication comes in the form of a pill or an IV.

Unfortunately, the majority of Senators voted against this lifesaving measure and the bill Senator Bill Ketron introduced.

But the fight isn't over. Thank Sen. Ketron for his support and tell him what his efforts mean to YOU.

Many patients who require oral anti-cancer treatment can’t afford the medications they need because many drugs are not equally covered by their insurance companies.

However, a recently introduced piece of legislation, Senate Bill 142 (SB 142) would put much-needed treatment back in the hands of Alaska’s cancer patients. This bill would improve the lives of cancer patients and their families by requiring insurance companies to cover patient-administered and IV cancer treatments equally. Without this, many cancer patients are paying high out-of-pocket co-pays and taking on a crippling financial burden, just to receive their life-saving medicines.

Your Representative’s support is crucial to the success of this bill that would make much-needed treatments accessible to cancer patients across Alaska.

Under many private insurance plans, patients with cancer face extremely high out-of-pocket costs for their life-saving medications. As a result, some cancer patients in Massachusetts must make the devastating choice between the vital prescriptions they need and putting food on the table for their families.

However, a bill introduced by Senator Sal DiDomenico, SB 541 would put much-needed treatments in the hands of Massachusetts’s cancer patients. This bill would do so by putting a $100 cap on the out-of-pocket cost that a patient must pay for one month’s supply of a covered prescription drug.

As a member of the Joint Committee on Financial Services, your senator/representative will be considering this legislation as early as this week and his/her support is crucial to its success, which would make much-needed treatments accessible to cancer patients across Massachusetts.

Fill out the form below to urge your senator/representative to vote yes for a favorable report on Senate Bill 541.

For years, the National Institutes of Health has been limited in its cancer research programs because, adjusting for inflation, it's lost nearly a quarter of its funding since 2003.

We're rallying key legislators to sign on as cosponsors and give this legislation the support it needs to succeed.

Medicare Part D is supposed to help seniors manage the cost of their prescriptions. But too many of the most vulnerable seniors on Medicare – those with life-threatening conditions like cancer, HIV/AIDS, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis – are facing extreme co-pays because their medication falls onto a "specialty tier."

The Part D Beneficiary Appeals Fairness Act is a promising bi-partisan bill that would allow patients a chance to appeal this "specialty tiers" designation, giving seniors battling cancer and other chronic illnesses a way to get the medications they need without going bankrupt.

Blood cancer patients depend on the expertise and knowledge of healthcare professionals who understand the unique needs patients face. As a result, it is imperative that blood cancer patients understand their network coverage and can trust that their insurance covers treatments at in-network healthcare facilities.

Too often, however, many patients experience “surprise billing” after receiving care in an in-network hospital setting. Often times, a patient is admitted to the hospital and receives routine lab tests as part of their treatment but later finds out that a physician they saw along the way was an out-of-network provider. Patients battling blood cancer shouldn’t also have to face a surprise bill for high out-of-network rates.

A recently introduced bill can help change that reality for blood cancer patients. AB 533 would address this situation by requiring that patients only pay an in-network cost when they receive care at an in-network facility.

Help us ensure that patients fighting cancer don’t also have to fight to understand their healthcare networks. Please email your Senator TODAY to ask for their support!

A lack of transparency is one of the challenges blood cancer patients face when purchasing health insurance. Patients need to make sure they can find a physician and medical team who can accurately monitor their disease and is also accessible to their home.

Unfortunately, many provider directories for health plans are largely inaccurate. This story is not unique and patients with chronic and life-threatening diseases grapple with these challenges every day.

Fortunately, a recently introduced bill can help change this. SB 137 would remedy this issue by requiring all state-regulated health plans in California to utilize a standardized provider directory that would be posted as a searchable link on the plan’s website.

Help us ensure that patients fighting cancer don’t also have to fight to understand their healthcare directories. Please email your Assemblymember TODAY to ask for their support!

Cancer research has the power to save millions of lives. But the federal funding for that research is down – and it's up to us to bring it back.

The National Institutes of Health's annual budget has dropped 24 percent since 2003 (accounting for inflation) and it has gone from funding nearly one out of three grant applications to funding only one in six. That's billions of dollars gone.

The bottom line is that less funding means fewer cures for cancer patients.

Send a letter to tell your members of Congress to increase NIH funding and advance cancer research.

Contact Chairman Hunt of the Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee and ask him to schedule a vote on SB 137 – the Cancer Treatment Fairness Act!

SB 137, the Cancer Treatment Fairness Act, would put much-needed treatment in the hands of NH’s cancer patients by prohibiting health insurers from imposing such high cost-sharing requirements on oral anti-cancer medications. This will ensure that patients can access the treatment prescribed to them.

Many New Hampshire cancer patients are struggling to pay for the oral anti-cancer medication they need because those treatments often involve a significantly higher out-of-pocket cost than those administered intravenously (IV).

NH’s State Senate recently passed this bill in a unanimous, bipartisan vote. Thirty-seven states and D.C. have already enacted this law. New Hampshire is the only New England state without oral anti-cancer medication parity laws.

Please help us and urge Chairman Hunt to schedule a vote on SB 137! Your support is critical in making this legislation succeed.

Devastatingly high out-of-pocket costs can make it impossible for cancer patients to afford their treatments. No-one should have to face the impossible choice of skipping their prescription drug regimens or going into extreme debt to access their treatment.
SB 25 will change that by curtailing exorbitant prescription drug co-insurance fees and limiting fees to a fixed, affordable cap, ensuring that more people can get the treatment they need.

Your legislators support is critical in making this legislation succeed – ask them to move SB25 out of committee.

Most consumers are unsure which prescription drugs are covered under their insurance plans and how much their out of pocket costs will be at the pharmacy counter. For blood cancer patients who take medications on an ongoing basis, it is critical to know which drugs are covered under their insurance plans. Unfortunately, prescription drug formularies are often incomplete and lacking transparency within Your Health Idaho, the state health insurance exchange. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) believes more transparency is needed to ensure patients have access to information about their life-saving therapies within their healthcare coverage.

We need your voice today! HB 151 is a bill designed to help consumers understand their coverage, including how much money they will pay for their prescription drugs. Your action is crucial to the success of this bill that would make much-needed treatments and medications accessible to cancer patients across Idaho.

Take action to urge the Health & Welfare Committee Chair Fred Wood to schedule a hearing for HB 151 and ensure that cancer patients have the information and access they need to make informed healthcare decisions regarding their prescription drug coverage, which will improve the lives of cancer patients and their families

Under many private insurance plans, patients with cancer face extremely high out-of-pocket costs for their life-saving medications. As a result, some cancer patients in Virginia must make the devastating choice between the vital prescriptions they need and putting food on the table for their families.

However, a recently introduced bill, HB 1948/SB 1394 would put much-needed treatments in the hands of Virginia’s cancer patients. This bill would do so by putting a $100 cap on the out-of-pocket cost that a patient must pay for one month’s supply of a specialty drug.

Your legislators’ support is crucial to the success of this bill, which would make much-needed treatments accessible to cancer patients across Virginia.

When a life-saving cancer medication falls into a "specialty tier," cancer patients often see the cost of that medication skyrocket – costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars per month for a single drug.

No patient should have to choose between paying for their cancer medication and paying for basic necessities. The Patients' Access to Treatment Act would require private health plans to limit patient costs for specialty tier drugs, and help cancer patients access the treatment they need to survive.

There were 142 members of Congress who signed on to this bill last year: now, tell your Senator to take the next step by introducing the Patients’ Access to Treatment Act in the Senate for the first time.
